So, just wondering what everyone's thoughts are on Web 2.0.. bothering me a bit I guess.. The idea is flatter, softer surfaces, more muted, natural color, plenty of empty space etc, less use of 3d elements, A more minimal look that lends itself to a 'more usable' experience.
I suppose it worries me a little as, as much as I enjoy a minimal look sometimes it definately does not lend itself to creativity and with monitors getting bigger by the week, i see the need for saving screen real estate decreasing also.
Basically I just hope it doesn't have an adverse affect on skinning, after all the reason we do what we do is to create a something different from the norm.
I do plan on doing a Web 2.0 ish theme soon, if for nothing else but to test the waters, but really I'd hate to get pinned down to 3 pixel frames and all the other design choices usually found in themes at sites like customize.org.
Is eye candy dying?
